Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi
win an Important Suit.

WASHINGTON, Oct. PA decision
was rendered by the Supreme Court of
the United States oday in three cases
of the United States appellant against
the States of Louisiana, Alabama and
Mississippi. These were suits brought
in the court of claims by the States
named to recover from the United States
per cent. of the net proceeds of sales
of public lands within their limits, and
also to recover indemnity for swamp
lands purchased by individuals, the pro-
ceeds of which were, by statute, directed
to be applied as necessary to the recla-
nation of such lands by means of levees
and drains.
The United States maintain that the
court of claims had no jurisdiction 70
determine the causein which the States
parts of the claims were barred by the
statute of limitations, and that the
United States was entitled to make set
off on the claims ON account of unpaid
direct taxes due from the States of Lou
isiana, Alabama and Mississippi. Under
the Act of August 5, 1861, the court
of claims decided that it had jurisdic-
ton, that disputed claims were not bar
red by the statute of limitations, and
the set-of, on counter claims, could not
be allowed. This court affirms the judg
ment. Opinion by Justice Field.

The Mex1c an Veterans at the Pres
Ident's Reception at Memphis.

Among the most interesting ceremo-
mails had during the Presidents visit to
Memphis, was the presentation of the
Mexican veterans. by Col. W. G. Falk-
ner, of Ripley. The President and his
wife were standing on raised platform
in the Cotton Exchange, when DR.. Por-
ter introduced Col. Falkner to the Pres
ident, when Col. Falkner said:
Mr.. President: / have the honor, on
this occasion, to represent a few of the
surviving soldiers of the Mexican war.
We do not come here to speak of the
part we, as individuals, played during
that bloody struggle, but there is one
thing we can say without subjectiug
ourselves to adverse criticism, and that
is, that during the Mexican war the
stars and stripes never traiied in the
dust of defeat, notwithstanding the fact
that the American army fought against
an army whose number and strength
was equal to four to one. About 100, 900
American soldiers participated in that
war, and it is estimated that $4,000 of
them have crossed the dark river, and
are now "resting under the shade of the
trees" on the other side, and in few
short years we will rejoin our comrades.
Mr.. President, we have sought this OPP
portunity to pay our respects to you, and
to thank you for the patriotism with
which you have sustained the honor of
the old flag which forty years ago waved
in triumph from the dome of the Mex
lean capital, We think that by your
patriotic efforts in behalf of the Amer
lean people you have succeeded in justly
winning their affections. Long may you
live to enjoy it. 1t is my opinion that
if the prayers of this little band for
your long life, good health and perfect
happiness could secure it for you, it
would be yours. Mr.. President, it would
be privilege highly priced by US to be
permitted to shake you by the hand as
token of our high regard.

The WATERWAYS Convention.

An interesting and important session
of the Western Waterways Convention
was held in Memphis on the Dist. 1t
was called to order by Judge Clapp, and
Gov. f. o. Stanard, of Missouri, was
elected permanent chairman.
Pending the absence of the commit
tee on resolutions, number of speeches
were made, the ablest being that IF the
"Grey Eagle of the Delta" Col. w. A.
Percy. His argument was on the line
of the report of the Committee on Res
olutions, which he doubtless, aided great
ly in shaping, as he was member of
the committee.
The resolutions deal in detail with
many matters of Importance to Western
commerce. The failure of the appro-
priations bill at the last session of Con-
gress was recalled with regret and dis
approval. OF the resolutions, the
most important was that endorsing the
method heretofore pursued by Congress
OF embodying in one bill all appropria-
tions for the improvement of the rivers
and harbors of the country. This plan.
say the resolutions, "seems fair and
equal distribution in the matter of
waterways improvement, of the whole
peoples money for the benefit of the
whole people," and the charges $50 freely
made tina. it is tainted with corruption
are repudiated.
The movement for the construction
of the Henepin canal to connect the
upper Mississippi and the Illinois rivers"
was regarded faYorably.
We quite agree with the committee
on resolutions, whose report was adopt
ed unanimously by the Convention, that
the time has not come when the Great
Father of Waters can .'go it alone"
though it is shame that such should be
the fact. Recognizing this fact, and
living in practical rather than senti-
mental age, there is nothing left for
those interested in Western commerce,
but to make common cause, not only |
with the seacoast and inland harbors, but |
with all tine rivers of the Union.
The plan has its objections, not neces-
sary to discuss, but it will be time
enough to consider another and better
when patriotic impulses rather than
selfish local interests shall control the
actions of members of Congress.

A MINING engineer who has inspected
the Tortilita silver mine of Arizona,
which has lately been extensively adj
vertised, reports to the New York
Herald, whose agent he was, that per-
sons living near the mine regard it as of
little value, paying no dividends, and,
when yielding the largest amount of
ore, bankrupting its owners. 1t was sold
at a sheriff s sale for $50, 600, but stock
has been issued to the extern. of $50
000, 900, which the owners of the mine
are endeavoring to place among working
men and farmers The indications are
that the Tortilita silver mine is good
thing for working men and farmers to
let alone.

years. Now it seems that this course is
becoming more and more popular every
year and the regular old A. B., which

to be hoped that the trend in this direction

Memorials of Southern Planter.

BY SUSAN DABNEY SxEDES. BALTIMORE:
CUSHING AND BENTLEY, PUBLISHERS.
The late beloved and eminent Bishop
Green, applied this remark to the chief
actor in the scenes which are so graph
ically described in the memorials: "The
memory of so honest and noble g life
deserves suitable record" The life to
which the venerated Bishop alluded,
was that of the late Thomas S. Dabney,
of Kinds, Mississippi, planter of the
old school and nobleman formed in
natures best mold. With filial care the
authoress has related the chief incidents
of a career replete with interest. 1t is
not the career of politician seeking by
devious methods the honors of the
world, but of private citizen, Chris
tian gentleman, a true patriot, a good
neighbor, compassionate master of the
old regime, and loving husband and
father, performing every duty of life
with the most scrupulous fidelity. With
the charms of a romance, the gifted
writer has described the true relation so
little understood and so much misrepre-
sented, of master and slave, before the
institution was swept away by the civil
war, and thus has performed a good
work which will be held in grateful re
membrance. Col. Dabney was one OF
| the wealthiest and best known of the
citizens of Kinds county, from the year
1885 to 1881, when he left the home
which was consecrated by so many
sacred memories, and took up his resi-
dence in Baltimore. He was born il
Virginia, on the 4th of January, 1898
and laid down peacefully TO his last res
in Baltimore, on the 18th of February
1885. He fell at last like the oak born
down by the tempest, with all his gan
lands around him."

Careful and Painstaking Efforts.
Woodville Republican. ]


The Clarion, at the expenditure of a
great deal of labor, has been publishing
very elaborate statement of the fnan-
cial condition of the State from 1876.
The method used by the Clarion is
complicated for the general reader, and
some of its figures are disputed. As to
who is right, will be shown eventually.
A proper, public exposition of the
financial condition of the State is be-
ing forced by this method. The Clar-
ions efforts are careful and painstaking,
and for these reasons will be appreciated
by the Democrats of this State. The
little men who have been piling up
abuse upon the Democratic administra-
ton, based upon figures set up to suit
themselves, will have to stop. This is an
incidental benefit to the public which
the CIarion's financial statements will
aid materially.

ing paragraph in your last paper:
eff the Executive Committee had per-
mitted us to have had a primary cleo
ton, we might have voted for Barksdale
or Walthall for Senator They have
prevented the people from doing what
their resolution called on them to do"
AS you well understand that l am not
a candidate for the United States Senate,
and do not wish to be supported for that
office, am sure you did not intend to
create different impression, but lest
some of your readers might infer other
wise, / have deemed it best to repeat,
that so far from being a candidate,
seconded the resolution which passed
the Kinds county convention, unani-
mously endorsing Gen. Walthall for the
position. Yours, very respectfully,
+. BARKsDALE.
OF course we knew Major Barksdale
was not a candidate for Senator, and we
did not intend that our article should
bear such construction. Gen. Walthall
is the almost unanimous choice of the
people of the State for that position at
this time, and Major Barksdale is our
choice for Governor if he will consent
to serve in that capacity.
